It would have been a good shot except it is out of focus. But I don't know why. Here are some of the specs. (This picture drove me to upgrade to the 7D just for the better auto-focus features.)

I have done very little with the servo focus mode, but it seemed to me that it never locked on to anything, it lets you shoot with the focus wherever it happens to be. My other thought is, are you using the full 9 points of focus or just the center? In a picture like that with all 9 points active it might pick the balloon as the focal point and not the guy.
